Answer 1

The pair of living organisms that are likely to have evolved from the same ancestor is fungi and amoebae. Both fungi and amoebae are part of the eukaryotic domain and share a more recent common ancestor compared to the other pairs listed. Fish and birds, while both vertebrates, diverged later in evolutionary history from a common ancestor that was a more distant relative to fungi and amoebae.
